Sigh.

I have DD who has multiple diagnoses. I have DS2 who has multiple diagnoses.

And now, after a first Paed appointment with 20mo DS3, the Paed has told me that he is hyperactive, probably ADHD, his speech is behind, his ability to follow instructions is behind, he has hypermobile joints.

DS3's HT earnestly told me about a mum at her previous school who had wanted to enlighten parents and staff about her dc SN and "had written a beautiful poem about wanting to go to Italy and ending up in Belgium or somewhere". "That must have been very inspiring. She wrote it herself? How talented" I said. DH's shoulders were shaking with silent laughter.

I will pass on both - DS3's current total list of allergies is : CMP, Soy, Nuts and Barry M eyeshadow powder.

I discovered the last one today when I kissed him, left a bit in his forehead, wiped it off to an angry red weal on his head. God knows which of the above it has in it. Probably nuts, as he doesn't go into anaphylaxis with those. CMP on the other hand...

Getting proper riled right now by a parking thread. You'd think I'd know better by now, after so long on here...
